RISE
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can stand beside the madness like a fallen tear
You can hold on to the sadness like a souvenir
Or you can close your eyes
And see your life
Like the air
You can tap into the strength you never knew you had
You can breathe into your faith no matter where you are
Just close your eyes and change your life
Like the air

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise, like the air you can rise

The earth can pull you down with all its gravity
And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see
So just hold on, when the night is done
Like the sun

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise, like the air you can rise

So even when your bones feel like weights
And it's hard to lift the smile on your perfect face
You can still find a peaceful place
Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space
It'll be alright, they're just jealous of your highs
So they can knock you down, but

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat it in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud




You can rise, like the air you can rise
Like the air you can rise

Overall Meaning

In Selena Gomez's song "Rise," the lyrics express the importance of resilience, even in the tough times. The beginning of the song talks about how there will always be challenges in life, such as sadness or madness, but it is up to the individual to decide whether they will let those challenges weigh them down or rise above them. Gomez encourages the listener to close their eyes and realize that they have strength inside of them that they never even knew existed. This can be seen in the lyrics "You can tap into the strength you never knew you had, you can breathe into your faith no matter where you are."


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of rising above one's challenges, using the metaphor of air. Gomez uses the line "Like the air you can rise" as a way of showing that just like air, which is an essential element that is always around us yet often taken for granted, our strength and ability to rise above challenges is always there, even if we don't realize it. The bridge of the song talks about how, even when life feels heavy and difficult, it's possible to find a peaceful place by simply closing your eyes and letting yourself float. The song ends with a final chorus that repeats the message of rising above challenges and not letting anyone bring you down.


Overall, "Rise" can be seen as a powerful reminder that, no matter how difficult life may seem, it's always possible to find strength within yourself and rise above whatever challenges come your way.

I feel like people who feel like they are worthless or maybe thinking of suicide should hear this song, the song kinda shouts RISE and that they should know they are loved and worthy. They should not listen to what people say. And it says "you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud" & "you can still find a peaceful place". Be strong loves ❤

Winning

absolutely!!!
